Product Description: It's a plain fact: regardless of how smart, creative, and innovative your organization is, there are more smart, creative, and innovative people outside your organization than inside. Open source offers the possibility of bringing more innovation into your business by building a creative community that reaches beyond the barriers of the business. The key is developing a web-driven community where new types of collaboration and creativity can flourish. Since 1998 Ron Goldman and Richard Gabriel have been helping groups at Sun Microsystems understand open source and advising them on how to build successful communities around open source projects. In this book the authors present lessons learned from their own experiences with open source, as well as those from other well-known projects such as Linux, Apache, and Mozilla.

Product Description: Innovation is the engine of the economy, prosperity and progress. In our era of computers, Internet and smart software, innovational inspiration is encroaching from all directions. In order to exploit the new business opportunities that are becoming available, organizations are being compelled to open themselves up to the masses. This means first and foremost that ideas must be fostered via intense interaction with the outside world: partners, knowledge institutes, competitors, and individuals. Expert users play a crucial role in this dynamic environment. This trend, which started with open source software development, is now clearly spreading through all economic sectors.
This IDC study defines the classification scheme, or taxonomy, used by IDC to research and analyze the business models available to companies that sell products and services associated with open source software.
"The open source software movement is here to stay," says Matt Lawton, program director of Open Source Software Business Strategies at IDC. "This taxonomy lays the foundation for understanding, measuring, developing strategies around, and considering the implications of business models relevant to the distribution of open source software."
